I found these little beauties blooming at one of the parks here in town. Spring has been very slow in coming here, and it's snowing right now as I type this so hopefully these little blooms aren't too affected by that.

Maybe all this snow is Nature's April Fools Day Joke on all of us!!

Project 52 - Details



My first thought when I saw the theme Details was Macro. That lens that allows us to see those things we normally would not get too close to!

Like Bees for instance. I am allergic to them, so not a good idea to get too close to them but without my macro lens I would not be seeing these Bees this up close and personal.

You don't notice the details that make Macro fun on the Bee without getting up close. Things like the tiny veins on the wings or the articulated joints of the legs. The Bee's Knees!

 

Like April Fools Day coming up, the Macro fools you into feeling like you are a lot closer that you actually are, and its all in the details that are revealed that is so cool.

Project 52 - Hunger

http://my3boybarians.com/

Now that Spring seems to have actually made its appearance, I am hungering for some time outdoors with my camera. Everywhere you can see buds on trees now, pussy willows all over the place and see birds of all shapes and sizes everywhere.

They are so much fun to watch flying here there and everywhere. They don't seem to particularily shy amongst people. This one came to feed on some seeds about two feet away from where Hubby was sitting.

I am sure with the advent of Spring lots of energy is being used for the purpose of setting up nests and getting ready for little ones. Birds appreciate the free seeds put out for them.

One eye on the seed pile one eye on the camera!

Flitting here and there so fast it is hard to actually catch them on the wing.

He is just a blur but you can see what kind of bird this one is as he whizzes past.

Feeding birds has always been a pleasant thing for me to do. It brings up sweet memories of going out with my Dad when he was alive to feed the birds. My Dad never met a bird he would not feed. He just loved feeding all birds.

Whenever I feel like I am missing my Dad, I can go out with a big bag of bird seed and simply feed the birds. Dad always had a big Rubbermaid container in the trunk of his car filled with bird seed and small containers to scoop out the seed. He had enough containers to share around and never ran out of seeds. Some of the birds my Dad fed knew his car on site and would fly up to his car and land on the hood while he slowly drove to his parking space ready to feed hungry mouths.

Where birdseed and hungry birds are concerned, there is always someplace to spread a little pile of seeds out. There is always a hungry mouth to feed just around the corner.

Like I said earlier, Spring is a time of Hunger. New life springs up, new plants bloom, and creatures abound. And I am hungering to get out and experience it!
